3. An almost too-good-to-be-true place that combines excellent academics with a vibrant social atmosphere and perfect weather. It is also the only university in the United States that owns its own beach.

ucsb: the most legit campus of all the uc's. ucsb is the school everyone thats anyone wants to go to. world class academics, a beautiful student body as well as an unbeatable party scene makes it a ridiculously good college experience.

i go to ucsb. thus, my friends come from their pathetic state school parties to rage.........the real way.
